Maintainer's Corner

Readme for haskell-src-meta-0.5.1.2

haskell-src-meta is a package originally by Matt Morrow for converting a
parsed AST from haskell-src-exts to a TH AST for use in splices and
quasiquoters. The last version Matt released before he disappeared from
the Haskell community was 0.0.6, but by that time his library was
already popular, so some community members eventually decided to take
over maintenance of the package, keeping it up to date with the latest
versions of TH etc.
I don't really view this as "my" package so if you want write access to
the github repository, or you think you could do a better job as
maintainer, just ask.
Major changes:
0.5.1.1 -> 0.5.1.2:
- More sensible determination of TH version available
0.5.1 -> 0.5.1.1:
- View pattern support, thanks to Nicolas Frisby.
0.5.0.3 -> 0.5.1:
- New module Language.Haskell.Meta.Parse.Careful, written by Reiner Pope
so that ambiguous parses can be rejected instead of quietly done wrong.

- Support for GHC 7.4, thanks to Reiner Pope
- Support for unresolved infix expressions, again thanks to Reiner Pope

- Fixes/additions to inline pragma support (Jonas Duregard)
- Compatibility with GHC 7 and TH 2.5 - totalling three major versions!
- Move some of the quasiquoters to their own package, and stop exporting
the rest (they are kept as examples of usage)
0.1.1 -> 0.2:

0.0.6 -> 0.1.0:
- Used the th-lift library to autogenerate the instances of Lift in
Language.Haskell.TH.Instances.Lift
- Added support for the new features of template-haskell-2.4.0.0:
